Let me start from the beginning. Got my 16G iPhone 3G with the 2.2.1 software.
All I wanted was to unlock it so I got the TurboSim installed, my phone was working perfectly after that. No problems whatsoever.
I upgraded my phone to the 3.0 software
Went and got it unlocked again. Not sure exactly what the person did but it took him a while to do it. About 2 hours
Ever since then, my battery life has gone down way faster than what it used to. It lasts less than 8 hours even after an overnight charge. And it gets really hot!
I had quite a few apps on there, I took them all off and it helped a little.
The guy who unlocked it, I think jailbroke it. I noticed I have new apps
BossPrefs
Cydia and ICY
Have no idea what they are, I don't want to design my phone. I just wanted it unlocked to use with T-mobile. Is that possible? Do you have to jailbreak to unlock for 3.0?
What is causing the battery death? I've been on different forums and I am really confused. Is it the upgrade to 3.0 or the unlocking/jailbreaking? Can I use a different TurboSim?
Plus I also want all my apps back on my phone.
I keep seeing "oh you need to turn off your wifi, edge, 3g, that still doesn't help.
Someone please help me solve this!!!!
I forgot to mention that also ever since the unlocking or whatever for the 3.0 my phone is not as fast as it was. especially when I go to check my texts. I am really annoyed. Please help!!!
It depends, studies have shown that the 4.2.1 update has sped up not only the device but also battery life. Depending on if you are Jailbroken or not and how many apps you run in the background.
Charge it, with the charger that came with it.
It's broken or the battery is flat.
Recharging and bringing back to life.
Battery life for 16gb video play back is around 4 hours
You don't. You have to unlock it first.
the iphons pourps is to make us an easy life
You get a 9 volt battery and u shock it
A battery life is the amount of time a battery will last.
Take the battery out, clean the battery pocket, and put the battery back in.
A battery does and can not produce life.
iPhones use ion lithium batteries, along with most phones now, they usually withstand around 400 charges before their ability to charge lessens and lessens.
